Takayama/Shirakawago Day Trip Tour!

Hope you had a great Golden Week Gifu!

Now that the holidays are over its back to work and the same everyday routine.. but never fear! Gifu AJET has another event coming your way this May!

This month we will be rocketing off on a bus tour taking you to the internationally acclaimed, historical Takayama and the nearby UNESCO World Heritage Site of Shirakawago! If you haven't visited either of these places yet, definitely come and take advantage of this group trip to the sightseeing gems of Gifu Prefecture. If you have already checked out these beautiful spots, come and explore the Hida no Aji Matsuri in Takayama City (details below), and introduce your favorite spots to fellow JETs.

Trip details:
- Once we arrive in Takayama and Shirakawago everyone is free to walk around and see the sights as they like.
- We won't be providing breakfast, so you may want to eat something before getting on the bus, or bring something for your hungry belly.
- Lunch is not set at any specific place in Takayama, so you are free to eat where ever you want.

As mentioned above, the 16th is the Hida no Aji Festival (Flavor of Hida Festival) in Takayama City, so lots of delicious food will be sold around town!

Since we'll all be going on the bus this is a great opportunity to relax and enjoy the sights without having to worry about driving, navigating, or watching out for public transportation times. Feel free to have a few while we're in town and relax on the ride back, chat with friends and enjoy the scenery! See you on the 16th!
